Memory Lanes Reviews

Consistently terrible service. I've been bowling in a social league here for 10 seasons and only a handful of times have I gotten good service. Slow, forgotten orders, and uncaring staff.

They will judge your song choices and change them on their jukebox even if you paid. Not a fun place.

Great place for bowling. Lanes are clean and maintained. Good beer selection and the food is great too!

Most fun I've had in awhile! A buddy brought me and my lady out bowling and it was a great experience, friendly staff and quick service.

Nice little place. Not too expensive. Good food. Clean. The volleyball courts outside looked nice too. A good place to have fun.

It s a typical bowling alley, not much to it, but our lane was broken (balls kept getting stuck) and it took them a while to fix it. I was hoping they d move us to another lane but that didn t happen either. But the service was nice, we must ve come at a bad time.

I had my daughter's 21st party here; it was a great time. The food is good, prices are affordable and the service is great. It was fun for all ages!

Lane 19 kept breaking down but got refund. Alcohol server was nice and fast. Came by multiple times to offer help

Good place to bowl at a fair price! Nothing really crazy about this place (either good or bad it's just a good place if you are looking to get some bowling in. I do recommend you confirm when their leagues are before going though, as it can get pretty busy during those times.

There was no service, and all they sell on tap I have never heard of

The approaches to the lanes could use a little updating but overall it was a great experience

Nicely maintained bowling alley and lounge with decent menu and reasonable prices. Friday was open bowling available until 10, then "over 21 only".

Good bowling and volleyball but the food and service is pretty awful.

Great bowling - big enough that you can actually just show up and play. Sweet craft beer selection too.

Are any of the reviewers serious bowlers? I doubt it. Memory Lanes is one of the driest, most inconsistent bowling alleys that I've ever been to. Forget your equipment. I am a light stroker, a traditional style bowler with a stractch average. I switched to a urethane house bowl to kill my hook to deal with the lane conditions and I was still hooking 10-15 boards around 16 mph. Maybe I'm never here at the right time but it never seems like there's fresh oil on those lanes.

If what you want is a bowling alley with drinks and food, then you'll be fine with it. If, however, you want to score well or work on your technique, I'd say pass it up.

Cheap bowling (student discounts!) and a surprisingly good beer list for a bowling alley.

I love everything about it the worker the food a family place

We were able to go there with our whole family. Something everyone could do and eat too.

I've never had better service or food that's served while you're bowling. Great drinks!

Fun place to spend the night with friends. Two thumbs up!

Amazing place, the staff is amazing, but one detail would get them to 5 stars and that the don't give us any utensils when serving and we had to ask for which was a bit annoying but of they changed that I would give them 5 stars.

Love this place bowling volleyball food and drinks what else could one ask for?

I left Memory lanes with lot of sweet memories. That statement is enough and comprehensive enough to know what "Memory Lanes" is.

It is so happened that we were given 90 minutes. We were a team of six members. We were in the middle of third round by the end of 90 minutes. But, were given extra time to complete the round even without solicitation.

We were also given free pizza as per the 90 minute time slot. The taste was awesome .
We thoroughly enjoyed der and left with great memories .

Long standing bowling alley that had open bowling on the weekend. I felt like a kid again bowling with my friends and more friends stopped through and they joined us for a game. We had fun and bowled till closing time.

The manager is awesome, food was ok, waitress helping our section didnt know what the food she was delivering should have for condiments and was bothered I informed her then never brought the right item.

Fun spot! Many lanes, spacious area for darts, and Golden Tee!

The food here was very good! Huge portions! Definitely share! Good drinks and reasonable prices , even for the bowling.

Fun atmosphere. The classic bowling experience. The menu of food is generous and the place is clean. There's also an outdoor sand volleyball court connected to the building.

Good food good bowling good crowd good beer good service for location good parking good times

Good pizza, clean and well maintained. Nice spot for a date night

Good old school place to go bowling and have a bite to eat or a drink or all 3...

Excellent staff, lanes, facilities, drinks...will be back!

Very nice hotel. Throwing a party here you will have the best views and the best food!

I need that 300! I'll never give up. I've been here many times. Never on a Friday night I was pleasantly surprised and even got a discount with a college ID. Sweet spot!!

We typically love this place but this time out we got screwed. We played 8 frames and the computer locked us out. After 40mins and 4 or 5 attempts to remedy the situation it came on for 1 frame and then locked us out again. We just had to peave after that. Definitely soured Memory Lanes for our family.

Establishment responded to me here but when I reached out no response thus the downgrade.

I really like this place. I do feel bad for the bartender though because everyone and their mother was trying to order a drink or food from her. This equaled longer than normal wait times. Maybe put two bartenders behind the bar on a Saturday night?

It was pretty much empty around 5 but got pretty busy by 7 when the cosmic lanes open.

Fun, upbeat place to bowl. Well maintained, sick jams, live music, good drink selection, check it out!

Cheap drinks, great staff, delicious menu. No riff raff

Nice place ....clean,and the staff were very nice and prompt. Cosmic bowling was fun ... if your a fan of Hip hop this is the place for you ... Fun time!!!!

The service for food can be a bit slow but the food is delicious. Mostly American bar fare but with a bit more class. The bowling is great, nice lanes, and easy to use computerized scoring. Staff was quick to help when there was a hangup with the pins. Went on a weekday and took the kiddo so it was pretty slow. We had a great time.

Not so great atmosphere, not the best lanes, and decent prices. Could have been overlooked, however we had a super snarky incident with the staff. Hopefully a one off time, my advice is only come here to go bowling with a buzz for cheap.

Love this place! Classic bowling alley with great food

I've been a patron for years. This is the neighborhood gem of bowling alleys. Memory Lanes perfectly balances bowling for amateurs & serious bowlers. It's a good place to take your visiting friends, watch a sports game, host events, or join a league. Food & atmosphere are good, and service is excellent. What keeps me coming back are the diversity of people. This is Minneapolis.

They have student unlimited bowling at night for $7, which is awesome! The drinks are kinda pricey ($5-8 each) unless you're drinking crap beer. The waitresses are always super nice, but the people at the bowling counter are always surly. All in all, nice place to go with friends!

They refrigerate their cognac. What's up with that?

MY FRIEND WON BINGO. We got free shots for that. This place is an old school neighborhood mainstay and is always a blast. The happy hour is pretty good and the bowling is a great deal. Even if you dont like bowling the bar is nice.

God I love this place. Are there any other old school bowling alleys left in the city? I look forward to league nights all summer long. The lanes are decent. Food is alright. And the beer list is unexpectedly good.

Had a few friends meet up the other weekend. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Pretty great bowling alley, minus the long wait times. Luckily they have a bar too

The best pub food if any bowling alley I've been to. Great micro-brew beer selection too.

Food is a little pricey for a bowling alley, but it's excellent and in good quantities. Lanes are oiled within an inch of their life.

Love this place, always a guaranteed good time. I would highly recommended memory lanes for a fun night out. If you are wearing sandals and forgot socks no worry! They have socks for $3, super cute and comfy They also have good rental shoes, a great bar selection, and friendly staff.

Its a little old and a little pricy but it was fun bowling there with friends.

great staff, service, and atmosphere. went for block party and it was a blast!

GREAT LATE NIGHT DEALS! Definitely a hot spot for large groups of friends. And reasonable prices for everything.
